About Samba
An open source/free software suite that provides seamless file and print services to SMB/CIFS clients. Samba is freely available under the GNU General Public License.

Samba consists of two key programs: smbd and nmbd. They implement the four basic modern-day CIFS services, which are:
- File and print services
- Authentication and authorization
- Name resolution
- Service announcement (browsing)

What’s New in this Version
- Fixed: Specifically crafted SMB responses can result in a heap overflow in the Samba client code. Because the server process, smbd, can itself act as a client during operations such as printer notification and domain authentication, this issue affects both Samba client and server installations.
